RE: Your reason for taking up Bow hunting
BUGLING!!! In MT the elk rut can only be hunted with bow. You canfind the elk in the woods'cause they tell you where they are. That's the one and only reason I started. I have yet to get my racked bull, but it was much better not getting him with a bow than not getting him with a rifle (strange as that sounds). Saw a lot more action during bow season.
However, now that I'm involved, being a gearhead, I do love the technology in the bows.
